Strict rules govern the employment of school-age young people and must be adhered to, even if you only want to employ them to do a paper round. No one under 16 may be employed in manufacturing or any dangerous activity.

Insurance will cover you against the other side’s costs and expenses. If you win your no win no fee claim, you should receive your compensation free of any deductions, as your solicitor’s costs should be paid by the other side.
